Luke Wang and Peter Feng, the two Chinese musicians who make up Yaoband, use their iPads to capture audio samples, turning them into beats. In a video on Apple's site, the duo are depicted using the iPad to capture sounds like water flowing over rocks in a river, water dripping from a faucet, a spoon on a bowl, a ringing bell, and more.

With iPad, Luke Wang has the power to make every show unique. "I'll add new apps, new techniques, and new ideas during the show," he says. By adding fresh elements to the music, even in a live performance, Yaoband lives up to its vision of an ever-evolving sound. "Creativity and innovation are the essence of music," says Peter. "For us they're what keep the power of music alive."

Jason Hall, who cofounded Detroit's Slow Roll city bike ride that thousands of people participate in, uses his iPad to organize the event, plan routes, create posters, communicate with other organizers, check the weather, and more. Hall uses apps like Mail, Calendar, Facebook Pages Manager, Prezi, Penultimate, and Phoster, managing each bike ride from start to finish on his iPad.

Quote:

"I wanted to convince other people to see Detroit the way I was seeing it," he says. "The plan was, let's start a bike ride and see if people want to go with us."

It began simply enough. Just 10 friends on a Monday night ride. Soon it was 20. Then 30. In its second year, the ride grew from 130 to 300 cyclists in two weeks. As the numbers increased, Hall turned to his iPad and made it the command center for all things Slow Roll. "We use it for everything we do, from mapping to communicating to ordering new T-shirts," he says."

I like them. They're personal and show how Apple's devices are used in the real-world, rather than directly comparing to their competitors' products (which is getting a little tiresome from Samsung & Microsoft)

Everyone knows it, nobody wants to say it. Ever since tim cook started its become obvious that he believes (mistakenly) that he needs to "fix" the culture at apple. For some reason its just attack after attack on that culture. This is just another example of the culture shift he is making.

I'm just going to say it... GHETTO!!! Do. Not. Like.

Apple, is not the apple of tim cooks eye. That my friends, would be his his agenda.

Who mentiond any race in that quote? ...Oh you associate the word ghetto with a race? Seriously though. None of us were born yesterday. Stop playing. It's time for us all to grow up and talk like adults about issues, geez.

You're not selling devices to many people who are bankrupt.

As someone who's been on the slow roll (I live in the burbs, not the city), I can tell you the city may have bankruptcy on it's headlines but many people in the area have plenty of cash to spend. You may be confused about the difference between the City's financial situation and individuals who do not 100% depend on it.

They are marketing to those who aspire to leave a positive mark on the world. All rational people, not occupied by more pressing matters (safety, food, water, shelter), should share this common thread of humanity. It should appeal to your sense of what is productive and good. If you are moving through life looking to create and advance, Apple is marketing to you.

Stop playing ignorant, pay a visit to the thread about Dr. Dre being announced as a board member, racism and terms like ghetto were used like it was going out of style

I am not familiar with what was said there so am not going to start discussing it. Here though you are claiming racism through the use of the word ghetto. I am pretty sure that any race can live in a Ghetto. Stop being ignorant.

Ummm.. pretty positive Dre would consider himself ghetto. It's not because he's black, but maybe, just MAAAAYBE, because he's from the friggin ghetto?

Dre went to a suburban middle school, his dad was in a R&B group, and he formed a R&B/ soft rap group in the early 80's. Dre is not ghetto at all. Just a persona most rock/rap stars use in the entertainment world.

I got to agree. The Beats threads are full of racist remarks!! Buzz terms such as Ghetto, Hood and Thug are thrown around all the time in those threads!! I've never seen those words thrown around on any other company Apple has bought!!! Just saying.....

You are the one bringing racial discussions into this thread.

No, you are incorrect for a specific reason:

Meanings of words change and are assigned to describe specific feelings, persons and places.

In the culture of the US, ghetto has come to describe inner city African-American of lower income.

Just as the word GAY today no longer is used as meaning HAPPY. If anyone told you they were gay, would there be any confusion on your part as to what they meant?
